Send us your data for our database
We published a 50th Reunion Booklet that was given out to everyone at the July event and wanted to include as many listings as possible. If you weren't listed or want to change data - addresses, phone numbers, family info, and what you've been doing, please contact us. Many of you have been contacted recently via phone or email by the Reunion Committee and we have up to date reports. However, there area a lot of folks with old data on file, so if you haven't already done so, please send us your data using our convenient new online form or the traditional printed "snail mail" version. We would hope that most folks will use the online form since it reduces the amount of typing the committee volunteers have to do!
See the section above for several ways to send us your data.

Missing Indians
We've maintained and updated the old classmates list from our 50th reunion and will use it and recent information to keep our database current. A list of "Missing Indians" has been posted and will be updated each week as we find people and move them to the "found" list. Please help us find the missing classmates and faculty members.
Send photos and news
In case you haven't visited our Gallery Pages, there are many photos there that classmates have scanned and emailed to us for everyone to see. Send us your photos along with captions. Scan at 300 dpi or less to keep the size down. Send to ihs1964@yahoo.com .
Everyone likes to read news about their friends from school, especially if they are out of touch or far away. So, send us news to include on our website. Just email to ihs1964@yahoo.com . |
